life and all its wonderfulness...

Well, to bitch about life, no car, no job, no money, no phone, and no girl. On the upside, Jon Schmidt just came out with a new song and it is fantastic! You should check it out! It's on Youtube. It's a compilation of Taylor Swift's Love Story and Viva La Vida by Coldplay. It rocks.

So it has been a while since I've blogged. I don't know why, but it has. I just need to bitch about life for a minute. I'm really angry at myself for a few reasons.
1. For being late to work 4 times... ugh...
2. For losing my fucking phone just as soon as it gets service back.
3. For not just fixing my car instead of selling it.
4. And just for losing the game of life...

Depressing eh? Yeah, by losing my job, not only have I disappointed myself, but I have now put my roommates in a scary position cause in about a month I won't have the money for rent.

On the upside, I might get a lifeguarding position. I just have to pay $125 plus supplies in order to take the class... ugh ugh ugh. Life's great, right?

Anyways. I'll stop bitching. I'm sure it's getting annoying.

Twisted Twilight!

Twisted Twilight
By Eric D. Snider

Scene 1

BELLA: I'm sad to leave the horrible, uninhabitable wasteland of Phoenix to live in a rain-soaked town full of country people that do not understand my city ways. I wish everything about my comfortable and privileged life were completely different!
DAD: Hi, Bella! Welcome to Forks, Washington. I'm glad you've stopped playing mother to your own flighty, irresponsible mom and come here to be my mother instead.
BELLA: It will be my pleasure to cook and clean for you.
DAD: I bought you an old truck from an Indian in a wheelchair!
BELLA: I ... have no response for that.

* * * * *

Scene 2

BELLA: It's tough being the new kid in school! Especially when everyone is so friendly and helpful and interested in me. Why can't they just leave me alone so I can sit in the corner and be left alone to pout?
CLASSMATE: You're awesome, Bella!
BELLA: See what I have to put up with? Hey -- who are those hot people over there?
CLASSMATE: Those are the Cullens. They avoid direct sunlight, they don't eat food, they sleep in coffins in a graveyard, and holy water burns them. I think they're Canadians.
BELLA: They sure are spectacularly gorgeous.
CLASSMATE: Yes, they are.
BELLA: I mean seriously, those people are BEAUTIFUL. Especially the one who keeps looking at me. Man alive, that guy is stunning. I mean, wow. He is hot buttered seduction on a stick. I mean, LOOK AT HIM! If you don't mind, I'd like to spend the next 75 pages talking exclusively about how attractive he is, and then bring it up again every paragraph or so for the remaining 400 pages.
CLASSMATE: Knock yourself out.

* * * * *

Scene 3

EDWARD: Hi, I'm Edward. I'm every girl's fantasy boyfriend: moody, humorless, violent, capable of snapping your spine with my bare hands, liable to do creepy things like watch you while you're sleeping, but also really cute.
BELLA: There is something strange about you.
EDWARD: (recoils at her garlic breathe) I don't know what you mean.
BELLA: I just can't put my finger on what it is.
EDWARD: (lifts automobile with one hand) You're imagining things.
BELLA: I feel like you're hiding something from me.
EDWARD: (grabs passing rabbit with lightning speed; drinks rabbit's blood) Don't be silly!
BELLA: It's like you're different somehow.
EDWARD: (turns into bat; flies away)
BELLA: Hmm. I bet he's foreign.

* * * * *

Scene 4

JACOB: You should be careful with those Cullens. Many moons ago, our tribe's elders, who were werewolves, made a pact with the Cullens, who were vampires. They're not allowed on our land, not even at our casinos.
BELLA: What, still? Even after all this time has passed?
JACOB: Nope.
BELLA: Since when do white people honor treaties with Indians?
JACOB: I know, right?
BELLA: Let me guess -- you're a character whose only job is to provide exposition, and you won't be useful until the next book.
JACOB: Yes. At the earliest.

* * * * *

Scene 5

BELLA: Thanks for saving me from that mob of guys who attacked me in the street! It's a good thing you obsessively stalk me while simultaneously insisting you want nothing to do with me.
EDWARD: No problem. If anyone's going to tear you limb from limb and gorge them selves on your sweet, delicious, life-giving blood, it's going to be me.
BELLA: Aw, you say the nicest things! I'm pretty sure you're a vampire, that I'm in love with you, and that part of you wants to kill me.
EDWARD: Don't be silly. It's not just part of me.
BELLA: HAHAHA!!! You're so funny!

* * * * *

Scene 6

EDWARD: You know what vampires love? Baseball!
BELLA: Really?
EDWARD: Sure! Haven't you ever heard of vampire bats?

(Crickets.)

EDWARD: Anyhoo, these are the vampire friends I live with, the Cullens. They've been very eager to eat you.
BELLA: You mean meet me?
EDWARD: Meet you. What did I say?
ALICE: I'm Alice! I can see the future, but only when it's useful to the plot. For example, right now: Look out for those mean vampires barging in from the forest!
MEAN VAMPIRE JAMES: Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum! I smell the blood of a human!
EDWARD: Stay away from her! Bella, you'd better go. I don't want you to have to see me fight this guy for your honor, our muscles straining as we grapple, the air thick with testosterone and the sounds of our throaty snarling.
BELLA: Right! I wouldn't want to see that! Especially not if your shirts got torn off!

* * * * *

Scene 7

MEAN VAMPIRE JAMES: You puny humans are so predictable and weak. Now I've got you alone, free to toy with you and torture you and deliver lengthy explanatory monologues to you! I just hope I don't waste so much time that when I finally do decide to kill you it's too late because Edward and the Cullens have arrived to save you!
BELLA: That would certainly be an unusual twist!
MEAN VAMPIRE JAMES: Never mind! At last it is time for me to--
EDWARD: Not so fast, Count Jerkula!
MEAN VAMPIRE JAMES: Edward! And the Cullens! Who could have foreseen your perfectly timed arrival?!
ALICE: I could have! Didn't, but could have!

(Fighting ensues. MEAN VAMPIRE JAMES is vanquished.)

EDWARD: Bella! Are you OK? He bit you! I've got to suck out the vampire poison!
BELLA: Edward, you don't have to make up excuses to suck my blood. I mean honestly, who ever heard of "vampire poison"?
EDWARD: I'm serious! It's coursing through your veins as we speak!
BELLA: Uh-huh, Whatever you say.

* * * * *

Scene 8

BELLA: Why did you bring me to the prom, Edward? You know I can't dance, and that I hate it when people tell me I'm beautiful, which happens all the time.
EDWARD: I don't want your dangerous psychological infatuation with a vampire to interfere with your regular life.
BELLA: But I want to BE a vampire! I want you to do it to me.
EDWARD: You're sure you want to be a vampire?
BELLA: Yes.
EDWARD: Well, how about if I press my lips against your throat in an ambiguous way, just enough to ensure that readers come back for the sequel?
BELLA: It's a deal.

(Fade to black; roll credits; send in ushers to mop up audience's tears and drool.)

Thank you

I've been thinking about it a lot and I think thanks are in order. I have a lot of good friends and I just feel the need to be grateful and tell them!

First- SAM! You fucking rock my socks off! You've helped me a lot especially lately with my car being gone. You've lent me your car whenever you can. You're pretty much an awesome friend, though we may bash heads every once in a while! Thanks for dealin with me!

Cam!- You are fucking hilarious! We shall miss you around here. As soon as those 60 or 90 days (can't remember how long) is up, definitely come visit. We'll bring you in with open arms! By the way, great choice on Cori! She's awesome!

Deena- You are an awesome friend dee. You've helped me a lot with work, girls, and just me in general. You've made me a better person. And I will always be here to talk to about stupid guys!

Jenessa- How can I even start. You are my little sister. There is no other way to say it. I love the talks we have. You help me so much, with everything in my life; from the past to the present, to the future. You have helped me make the right decisions and have made me a better person.

Alyse- What can I say? You were there for me when my entire world fell apart. You picked up the pieces of what was left of me, and began putting them back together right from the start. You picked me up when I was down. I can't thank you enough. Whatever happens with us, you will always be here, a part of me. You have built me up into who I am now. Thank you so much.

Well, I think that's everyone. Once again, thank you all!

... No Idea!

Haha, so I'm in a good mood considering. My problems as of late have been, as I said to Nessa and Alyse, Absolutely Negatively Obnoxiously Annoyingly Frustrating! Yes, it is that bad! It's getting very Agonizing! (Come up with any other negative words let me know!) anyways. I don't think I'm getting the car I want. My 2006 Hyundai Elantra GT. :-< Oh well. I think I may just have to go with a 500 dollar peice of shit 1991 Subaru until I actually have credit and I'm able to get a loan. Ugh. Just a tad bit... hmm can't think of any others... (fuck it) Frustrating. (couldn't think of any others at all! HELP ME!) Anyways. I get to hang out with Nessa today and I am so fucking excited. I've missed hanging out with her when sam goes to bed.... haha! anyways. That was kind of a short blog, but I need to get ready for the day. Umm... You'll probably get a lot of I HATE TRYING TO GET LOANS/I WISH I HAD CREDIT blogs until I get a decent car. well anyways. as gir would say "I miss the cupcake!" *scratch out cupcake, insert Nessa*
Peace Out!
